Hi, all, I have a problem with small worms on my front steps (concrete). They gather in a corner next to the house. Every day at least 1/2 dozen appear. How can I get rid of them???? Help, Al12an

Sprinkle Sevin Dust in the affected area. You can take a sample in a sandwich bag to your local Cooperative Extension Agent for identification.

I'd be inclined to find out what they are before I used something. Twelvepole's suggestion of an id trough your extension service is a good start. Sometimes correcting one situation will be enough rather then having to repeatedly using a chemical. For something environmentally friendly I would probably use diatomaceous earth. Use the food grade and a dust mask so you don't breathe the dust.
